Description

The driver's airbag (DAB) is installed inside the steering wheel and is electrically connected to the SRSCM by the clock spring. It protects the driver from impact by deploying the airbag in a frontal collision. The SRSCM determines whether the driver's airbag (DAB) should deploy.
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the airbag module (squib) circuit, even with the specified tester. Measuring the circuit resistance with a tester may cause accidental airbag deployment, which can result in serious injury.
